VARTEQ is a US-based international IT company delivering innovative software solutions, including web and mobile apps, e-commerce platforms, and custom digital products with a strong product focus. We work with clients worldwide, offering a dynamic, collaborative, and growth-oriented environment where employees can develop skills, work with multinational teams, and make a real impact.

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to take ownership of our Linux-based infrastructure — ensuring stability, security, and automation across multiple environments. This role suits someone who enjoys building reliable systems, optimizing processes, and driving security-first DevOps practices.

Necessary skills:

• 3+ years of experience with Linux (Debian-based).
• System hardening and CIS benchmark implementation.
• Firewall management (iptables, nftables, AWS Security Groups).
• Scripting in Bash and/or Python.
• Authentication and access control (LDAP, OIDC, SSO — Okta, Auth0, Azure AD).
• SSH configuration, sudo policies, least-privilege access.
• Docker usage and container lifecycle management.
• Infrastructure automation (Ansible, Terraform).
• Cloud experience (AWS preferred).
• Monitoring setup and documentation maintenance.

• Troubleshooting and problem-solving in distributed environments.

Responsibilities:

• Administer, support, and troubleshoot a fleet of Linux servers (primarily Debian-based).
• Harden Linux systems by implementing CIS benchmarks, managing firewalls (iptables/nftables, AWS Security Groups), and applying security patches via automated pipelines.
• Develop and maintain automated scripts (Bash/Python) for system provisioning, configuration, and maintenance.
• Design, implement, and maintain secure, centralized authentication systems for server access.
• Configure and manage SSH integration with LDAP and OIDC providers (e.g., Okta, Auth0, Azure AD) for key-based and certificate-based authentication.
• Enforce the principle of least privilege through sudoers configuration and robust user access reviews.
• Build, deploy, and maintain containerized applications using Docker.
• Maintain image security and consistency across environments.

• Collaborate with developers to optimize CI/CD pipelines and deployment reliability.

What we offer:

• Remote work
• Dynamic and friendly international environment
• Well-defined processes and clear methodologies
• Learning opportunities: internal events, workshops, language courses, certifications
• Career growth within a global community of skilled professionals
• Engaging team buildings and company events
• Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leaves

At VARTEQ, we value engineers who take ownership and continuously improve systems, not just maintain them. We believe in simplicity, transparency, and technical excellence.
